You could reach out to Boxstersteve on here. He has a silver crest on his Arctic Silver Box.

I don't have any pictures handy and my car is filthy at the moment but I have a silver crest on my Artic Silver with clear markers, chromed wheels, and the terracotta interior. I love it!

It's a 3D decal, but you get the idea. It's hibernation time, so the camera angle sucks. The car is half a foot from the garage wall.

Bruce,
How do you figure?
Either that or I'm missing the humour. Don't mind me, we're just back from a holiday at Disney World in Florida and I'm still really knackered from 9 days of walking and standing in lines...

Its photographed upside down.......don't worry, we seem to be the butt of all these types of jokes !!

BoxsterSteve 11-05-2014 03:22 PM

Stupid iPad.
When I previewed, the pic was the proper way up.
Just turn your monitor upside-down. :D

Maybe if you hadn't put your car away so soon you wouldn't have had to stand on your head to take the picture!

That looks great! Thank you.


They sure have the hood crest nuts hidden well... This should be fun

mump 11-06-2014 08:12 AM

the crest nuts are easy. it is fitting the rubber gasket over the crest that is the fun part.

Fintro11 11-06-2014 08:17 AM

Hot water should make the gasket go on pretty easy, I will have to stuff some shop towel into my socket when installing the nuts though. They don't give you very much room to work with

BumperPlugs sells a very nice high quality silver hood crest. Not cheap.

Fintro11 11-17-2014 06:56 PM

Test fit, just need a gasket / nutshttp://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1416282881.jpg

why not just move over the gasket and self threading nuts?

:confused:

Just be careful to not over-tighten them on install...

For others looking for a different hood crest, Intrepidagent on Rennlist offers custom finished crests, with a lot of options available.

Fintro11 11-18-2014 08:03 AM

I broke the old gasket :p it was a little hard after the years
